The Undaunted Garden is one of the most important garden books ever written for American gardens.

I reference it constantly and you will too. While focusing on the challenges of gardening on the front range of North America, this book is valuable for any serious gardener gardening anywhere in America as the principles laid out in this book are useful no matter the size of your garden or where you are gardening.

I think the photography is superb and help tell the story of Lauren’s journey creating beautiful and sustainable gardens over the years.
